STARTUPS: 5 Life Lessons in 1 Minute

1 #POLITICS: when your body is tired your mind is tired. Educate yourself about the health of that place where one meets the other. This is where successful ventures conquer, but also the place of nightmares. And since the personal is political it is also the gateway to hell.

3 #TRAVEL: people keep moving because they will always want to leave wherever they are. It is the manifestation of a fear of both one’s origins as well as the prospect of a destination. If you are from nowhere you can never be a colonizer, so they keep moving to avoid not only themselves, but accountability. This is also how jurisdiction remains claimed.

3 #PORNOGRAPHY has never been what you think it is: what you think of as pornographic is actually the spectacular documentation of constant travel (see above), the commodification of the idea of attempting to escape or destroy the stasis of the built world and the calcification of hierarchical structures as the model for the free subject.

4# DESIGN yourself a daydream that begins the work of destroying what you want. Don’t think of what you want as something you only think you want — think of what it would take to destroy what you’re convinced you want. Don’t think about wanting a thing, just want the thing, and think about its destruction.
